Re: AVG e-mail scanner - worthwhile?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I agree with Steve. If you install AVG email scanning (default mode) and then disable it, then it
nags you. If you uninstall and reinstall with the "custom" mode and uncheck the email scanning, you
wont be nagged and you wont have email scanning and you wont have all those "unknown" attachments
(which are just the message that this mail has been scanned).
